Re: A Grade Good Example of Fox Colors
A very nice catch Craig; case colors are so nice and vibrant.
Just for readers' comparison of colors here's an A Grade s/n 256xx that has somewhat different colors, probably stored in a cabinet in the light of day. Breech faces show she's likely unfired or virtually so. This Fox is a 32-incher with 2-weight (marked) barrels and choked tight Full on both tubes. Buttplate gun. Those who will be at the Northeast SxS in June can see her at my tables.

Re: A Grade Good Example of Fox Colors
Craig,
Excellent example of original CC’s. Always amazing to find a gun that has survived in that shape....like they were forgotten with time! Would you let us know DOM? Frank, to your point it’s not only handling that can wear/lesson CC’s.

Re: A Grade Good Example of Fox Colors
The A grade has a DAC of 2 3/8". Very unusual high dimensions. I have a SF that letters 1 1/4" x 2 1/8" Pictures below has nice CC also. About the highest dimensions found SF in the records and not many were made that way. Would make an awesome pigeon gun!!
